Washington, D.C. – In advance of this morning’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on the PATENT Act, the Internet Association is releasing a video that explains why patent trolls are so harmful to the economy and highlights the need for patent process reform.

Entitled, ‘Here’s What You Should Know About Patent Reform’, the video emphasizes the havoc patent trolls wreak on small businesses and the economy. Numerous bills to address this issue have been proposed in Congress and received overwhelming support, including 14 last year alone.

Leaders in Congress must take steps to stop patent trolls, or they will continue to stifle innovation and hinder our country’s economic growth.
